Agile Business Intelligence: Impact Profitability, Optimize Performance and Drive Business Value

摘要

Baptist Health South Florida, the largest faith-based, not-for-profit healthcare organization in the greater Miami area, recently decided to tackle a vexing problem in the financial arena that directly impacted profitability: managing their orthopedic implant spending. Dimensional Insight's Business Intelligence suite, The Diver Solution™, turned out to be the tool of choice.rnDoug Horwitz, Manager of Strategic Planning and Business Development at Baptist Health, describes the initiative. "Orthopedic surgery, specifically joint replacement surgery, was not as profitable for our hospitals as it should have been." Baptist Health's analysts applied the 80/20 rule to identify the 20% subset of all orthopedic procedures that constituted 80% of the costs. That subset turned out to be knee and hip implants.
